In fact, you did bitch about the no-shows, or rather, late cancellations, before going on to further bitch about lack of professionalism. Not that you're showing much professionalism yourself by then jumping onto an industry messageboard to vent your spleen... yes, your complaint may be valid, but your mode and tone of delivery is not.
And as for people being 'too eager to self-promote' - Take a quick look at the title bar of your browser. Yes, this is the 'promotions forum', not the 'bile and bitching' forum. Personally, i think it shows a great deal of cool-headed professionalism for the girls concerned to turn around such a violent insult to them and work some good out of it, rather than just coming back with equal vitriol!

I can't be sure, as you don't have the balls to name names, but are you referring to the delectable Kaz B with your second comment? If so, your confusion is unfounded; as she has made more than clear on several occasions, she works up to hard G/G, or B/G only with her partner. Which happens to be me, so I can post this from a position of some knowledge and authority

I could hazard a guess or three as to why Terry has a great turn-up rate.
He's a nice guy. He puts people at their ease. You look forward to meeting him from your first conversation.
None of which, I have to say, you put across in this thread :-/

So... I take it you've worked with every other girl in the industry, then?
Oh, wait, no - my mistake. You're just spouting vitriolic, inaccurate crap again.
